Vardis Kucha

Vardis Kucha (Rose Street) is named after a small street in Budapest, where the band was founded and has been rehearsing ever since. Our aim is to introduce the folk music traditions and values of the fabulous Caucasian country Georgia to the Hungarian audience.

The majority of our repertoire consists of Georgian polyphonic folk songs dating back to ancient times, which are part of the UNESCO World Heritage of Ethnology, but more modern, urban folk and instrumental folk music also play a major role in our concerts. In addition, the programme includes Georgian Orthodox folk songs, which, with their centuries-old history and still active tradition, form a bridge between the past and the present.
